All women at risk!

Hari ni ntah macam mana dtg pulak mood nak type pasal one of gynecologic cancer. Cancer that exclusively  affects women, which is Cervical Cancer atau dalam Bahasa ialah Kanser Pangkal Rahim.

Cervical cancer / Kanser Pangkal Rahim.
I learn that Cervical cancer is the 2nd most common cancer affecting women after breast cancer, and the 3rd leading cause of death.Everyone may get affected by this cancer, statistic in 2000 in Malaysia shows that the incidence of this cancer is 11.6 per 100,000.Who says we not included? it includes me and all females around me.

Luckily this cancer is preventable (provide that we do a regular screening test) yeah!! Now we can actually change the statistic by knowing our risks *happy* oh, knowledge is such a power :)


Screening test.
What kind of screening test we need to do? it's called Pap Smear ,Fariez rasa pap smear ni is a very simple screening test (u may get horrified with the instrument, at least i was, hahaha but well, believe me, it's nothing compare to those pisau potong perut , gunting-gunting yang kecik yang besar , jarum cangkuk tajam dan ape ntah lagi instrument yang menyeramkan . After all,screening test for cervical cancer takes only a speculum and a spatula/cotton swab)

Bila nak buat screening test ni ? 
Take note ye all females out there, we should have our  1st screening test soon  after the initial sexual intercourse (within 3 years) . After that, the doc will inform us how often we need to have pap smear. it depends on your pap smear result actually, kalau risky macam tu, so u need to have a more regular screening test.

Jangan ambil ringan tau dengan screening test ni. Pap smear can reduce 30% in the risk of developing kaser pangkal rahim provide that we have our pap smear once every 10 year, 80% reduction in every 5years, 90% in every 3 years. Come on..Let's not waste the advantage of knowledge.

Vaccination.
Dengar cerita kat Malaysia da start vaccination against HPV (Human Papilloma Virus ) yang boleh menyebabkan cancer pangkal rahim. Honestly, i have no idea bout that, Fariez tak didehakn pasal ni, bcause here in Egypt, they dont have such thing. Tak silap, all females  kene amik vaccination during 13 years old. kalau da dewasa n tak ambil lagi, fariez tak tahu kene amik ke tak. U may share with me, if u know something.

Are u at risk ?
1.Having first sexual intercourse at young age.
2.Having multiple sexual partners.
3.If the husband/male partner has multiple sex partners.
4.Smoking. (Smoking doesn't make u look any better, or cool.It does not release your stress either)
5.Multiparity.
6.Having sex with uncircurmcized male.
7.Low immune status.
If u have most of the above, u are at risk of cervical cancer.

Ah, penat da type (kurang stamina), nak pergi siram pokok pule :)
Kata-kata terakhir dari Doctor Farieza (uh, perasaan, belum jd Doc lagi) kepada reader(s) sekalian : Stay healthy, Live Longer, Spend wisely :)

Moga jumpa lagi di laen entry.Da
